oreworcf Petersburg High School, as we know it today, was first established in 1911. Until that time, Anderson’s Elementary School, built in the 1820’s, was located on that site. Since its founding, it has served as a source of memory for countless students who have laughed, learned, and lived within her walls. Starting with only two courses, “English and Mathematics’’ and “Classical,” and only six teach- ers, our school has developed and increased rapidly through the years. There are now approximately forty-five courses taught by seventy-three instruc- tors to an enrollment of over 1300. Still growing and developing, the school plant has recently added eighth grade buildings. The Admini- stration Annex, formerly the Robert E. Lee Ele- mentary School, is now in use for vocational train- ing in numerous fields. In the field of extra-curricula activities, the high school is also constantly developing. New this year are the Chess Club, the People-to-People Club, and Modern Dance Class, now functioning with the other twenty organizations. In the extra-curricula acti- vities, students become better acquainted with each other while following their individual fields of in- terest. In June the senior class of 1965 makes its final imprint on the pages of high school history. In this book we have tried to record the indelible and cher- ished memories of the best year of our high school careers. Editor-in-chief . . Assistant Editor .
